Some fish are pretty and enegetic,but nothing pulls your attention like
a puppy in water.(figuratively ufcourse)

Jim Beam works for me...lol
YOU'RE ALL SPOILED
most wives nag and complain about fish tanks and the space and time it takes and the money wasted on water/electricity/food/maintenance. and will take their every interest in getting rid of the fish and the tanks
...sigh.

i did. I got her a black moor and she named him "gilbert fishby aka Gil." She's coming around since the conversion from piranhas to cichlids...
When I met my wife, she had a 55 and asked me if I had aquariums. I told her I had a few. She said she'd love to see them. She almost keeled over when I brought her to see the hatchery. She said the 20K+ gallons (back then) was almost deafening from all of the water movement and the blowers. Since then, she's gotten a bit bored with her 55 and we gave it to our boy. Now, she has her 1/2 cylinder 300 gal and a very tame mbu puffer all her own. Although, I'll occassionally catch her feeding and cleaning the other 125 tanks. Guess you could say I got lucky.
